2. Summary of the Application
On June 2, 2010, Southern California Edison Company (Edison) filed its amended application seeking Commission authorization to include in distribution rates the costs associated with 2007 wind and firestorms. Specifically, Edison sought Commission determinations that $6.837 million of incremental operations and maintenance costs and $9.487 million of incremental capital expenditures, which it had recorded in subaccounts of its Catastrophic Events Memorandum Account (CEMA), were reasonable, and should be moved to distribution revenue requirement accounts for recovery in rates.2 Edison stated that in October and November of 2007, 14 separate fires, along with severe Santa Ana winds, burned over 148,000 acres of Edison's service territory resulting in both state and federal disaster declarations.
